Thanks for th input Matt.
I found that I had not connected the window outlet in Files Owner to
the window in the nib. Upon doing so all works as I expected.
As an FYI everything else works as I expect ... the delegate methods
are called and the instance vars are good to go. One slight change, I
made my content view an instance var so the code now looks like this:
- (id) initWithWindowNibName:(NSString*)windowNibName andBFileName:
(BFilename*)bfilename
{
self = [super initWithWindowNibName:windowNibName];
if (self != nil)
{
[self retain];
m_panel = [self window];
m_design = [m_panel contentView];
m_design->m_BFilename = bfilename;
[m_panel setDelegate:self];
[m_panel makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
}
return self;
}
- (void)windowWillClose:(NSNotification *)notification {
[self release];
}
Thanks to all for helping me keep my direction true!

Im the above, the call [self window] returns nil. This does not seem
correct. Can some one help me?
You're speaking of the window too early. This is just the init; the
nib
hasn't yet loaded and set up the connections. This is why you are
given
windowDidLoad, so you know when the window *is* ready.
I would go even further and say that most of what you're doing here
should
not be done in an init. Set instance variables and that's all. And
set them
directly; don't pass through a setter. Remember, the instance (self)
is not
ready until you have *returned* from the init. m.
